NYFW: The Bumble and Bumble team transform GLAMOUR's Sarah Jossel into the SS14 Karen Walker girl.
Do you remember the show Stars In Their Eyes where contestants were transformed into famous singers? I finally know how they feel. On my last day of #NYFW I walked into New Yorks coolest hair salon Bumble and Bumble (bumbleandbumble.com) as a backstage beauty reporter and walked out as the Karen Walker girl. And I loved it. A lot.
The inspiration from Bumble and Bumble hairstylist Laurent Philippon: "They're urban, cool girls - don't think pretty, cute plaits - think lived-in, undone and edgy."
Get The Look: I'm prepping hair with Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray (from £7.50) and creating a soft wave with an iron. For a matte, textured finish, I'm spraying in a new Bumble and Bumble product called Dry Spun Finish. (£21.50) I'm then braiding the hair where I think it suits the girl best. Some plaits are being placed at the back while other girls are having an alice-band braid style - each model has a look tailored to them.
And then it was my turn. Thinking it would take a while, I took out my notebook to do some backstage beauty homework - but how wrong I was - in just 15 minutes my Bumble and Bumble hairstylist had recreated the look!
Here's my before, during and after...
And a little glimpse of just how cool the Bumble Salon is!
